Petrochemical catalysts

If your focus is specifically petrochemical catalysts, I would organize your business around these major catalyst families:

# Catalyst family Examples Main petrochemical use
1 FCC catalysts USY, REUSY, ZSM-5 Heavy oil → gasoline/LPG/olefins
2 Hydrocracking NiMo/Al₂O₃, NiW/Al₂O₃ Heavy feed → diesel/jet/gasoline
3 Hydrotreating CoMo/Al₂O₃, NiMo/Al₂O₃ Sulfur/nitrogen removal
4 Reforming Pt/Al₂O₃, Pt-Re/Al₂O₃ Naphtha → high-octane products + H₂
5 Isomerization Pt/mordenite, Pt/zeolite Improve gasoline octane
6 Alkylation Acid/solid-acid systems Gasoline blending components
7 Olefin catalysts ZSM-5, SAPO materials Olefin production/conversion
8 Polymerization Ziegler–Natta, metallocenes PE/PP production
9 Methanol-to-olefins SAPO-34 Methanol → ethylene/propylene
10 Methanol-to-gasoline ZSM-5 Methanol → hydrocarbons
11 Syngas catalysts Fe, Co Fischer–Tropsch hydrocarbons
12 Methanol synthesis Cu/ZnO/Al₂O₃ Syngas → methanol
13 Hydrogen catalysts Ni-based reforming catalysts Hydrogen production
14 Claus catalysts Activated Al₂O₃, TiO₂ H₂S → sulfur
15 Gas purification adsorbents 3A/4A/5A/13X molecular sieves Drying/separation
16 Activated alumina Al₂O₃ Drying/adsorption
17 Hydrogenation Ni, Pd, Pt catalysts Saturating unsaturated molecules
18 Dehydrogenation Pt, Cr, Ga systems Paraffin → olefins
19 Oxidation catalysts V, Mo, Ti systems Selective oxidation
20 Catalyst supports Alumina, silica, silica-alumina Supports active metals

Best starting portfolio for Auxens Catalyst Company

I would prioritize:

ZSM-5 + USY → FCC
NiMo/Al₂O₃ + CoMo/Al₂O₃ → hydroprocessing
Pt/Al₂O₃ → reforming
3A/4A/5A/13X → gas drying/separation
Activated alumina → gas treatment
Claus catalyst → sulfur recovery
Ziegler–Natta/metallocene → polyethylene/polypropylene

The ZSM-5 + USY FCC category is particularly relevant to your earlier LPG objective, because it can be used to influence the FCC product distribution toward lighter hydrocarbons and propylene—but this is refinery-scale processing, not treatment of household LPG cylinders.
